FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and walking, featuring an Arch Fit® insole for comfort and support. They are not intended for high-impact running activities, which typically require specialized running shoe designs.
How do I know if the Arch Fit® insole is right for my feet?
The Arch Fit® insole is podiatrist-certified for enhanced arch support. If you experience foot fatigue or have a noticeable arch, it is likely beneficial. For very flat feet or those who prefer minimal support, it might feel more pronounced.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the trainers are designed for comfort and can be worn with or without socks. The cotton canvas upper and cushioned interior provide a comfortable feel against the skin. However, wearing socks can help with moisture management and hygiene.
What does 'vegan design' mean for these shoes?
A vegan design means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes. This includes the materials used for the upper, lining, sole, and any adhesives.
How long does the machine washable feature typically last?
The machine washable feature is designed to withstand regular washing on a gentle cycle with cold water. To maintain the shoe's integrity, air drying is recommended after washing. Over time and with frequent washing, natural wear and tear may occur, as with any washable footwear.
Is the sizing consistent with other Skechers shoes?
Sizing can sometimes vary slightly between different Skechers models. It is best to consult the specific size chart provided by Skechers or try the shoes on if possible to ensure the best fit for this Arch Fit Arcade model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the tension of the stretch laces. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider if a break-in period is needed.
Arch support feels uncomfortable
The Arch Fit® insole is designed for significant support. If discomfort persists, try wearing the shoes for shorter periods initially. You may also consider replacing the insole with a flatter alternative if you do not require strong arch support, though this will negate the primary benefit.
Color transfer from shoes
Some color transfer may occur initially, especially with darker colors. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the shoes have been worn a few times or have been washed according to care instructions.
Smell after washing
Ensure the shoes and insoles are completely dry before wearing or storing. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.
